Gold leaf is frequently used, especially in depictions of holy figures. Subject: This painting depicts Archangel Michael, identifiable by his armor and sword, triumphing over the devil. The inscription "Arcangel San Miguel" confirms this. Influence: The Cuzco School style blends European artistic techniques with indigenous symbolism and aesthetics.
